The Angel Factory

Have you wondered if everyone around you weren't actually humans but people sent to Earth to help save mankind? Sounds weird right? In the book, The Angel Factory by Terence Blacker, a kid my age finds out that everything he ever knew was one big secret. The story is about Thomas Wisdom, a smart popular kid with a loving family who supports him in everything that he does. They do seem a little too perfect but Thomas doesn't seem to think much of it until one day, everything changes. Thomas' friend, Gip, helps him realize that him and his family isn' t like any ordinary family. This journey of finding out who he really is takes him from London to California. Terence Blacker keeps people on their toes throughout this entire book, and he never gets his readers get bored. I would recommend this book to young adults who like to read books that will keep them interested to the very end of the book. The surprise ending will make the book worth reading.

It was fantastic!

This was one of the best books I have ever read. You could never guess what is going to happen next. It keeps you wondering until the end. It never gets boring and is exciting all the way through. It makes you wonder about your world and if there are people like angels sent to help us. I have read this book three times and I have recomended this book to others and they all loved it too.

Full of suspense and twists

Thomas seems to have a perfect life, and one day he realizes it is just too perfect. As he starts to uncover the truth about his family, his past and his future, Thomas questions concepts like family, friendship, good and evil.This is a wonderful story, a great mystery and one that you'll want to read all the way through in one sitting!

A moving and highly recommended story of the future

If aliens invaded Earth with the intention of saving humankind from its self-destructive traits, would humans accept the limits to freedom to destroy? Thomas Wisdom seems to have the perfect family life - until he discovers their real identities and his own key role in helping to save the planet from itself. His one friend can only help him if he betrays his family in The Angel Factory, a moving and highly recommended story of the future.

Exciting

This was a terrific book. The story is about a boy who discovers his parents are from a parallel universe. The boy is caught between the angels from his parent's world, who want to save the human race from destroying itself, and real world with all its good and bad qualities. I read it in one day and couldn't put it down.
